Skin irritation / corrosion
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- From 1986-02-11 to 1986-02-25
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
- Remarks:
- Although this study is guideline and GLP compliant and would normally be assigned a reliability of 1 (reliable without restrictions), this study is used for read-across and therefore has been assigned a reliability of 2 (reliable with restrictions).
- Justification for type of information:
- The primary component of all substances provide complete coverage of 68334-33-8. 68334-33-8 shares high structural similarity with 61789-80-8, 68783-78-8, 107-64-2, and 112-02-7. As 68334-33-8 is a UVCB its components encapsulate the other substances except for the counter ion (Cl-). In solution, the counter ions will dissociate from the parent structures. Therefore, we are comparing substances of equivalent nature. CAS 107-64-2 represents the C18 boundary of the 61789-80-8. Ignoring the salt component CAS 61789-80-8 is equivalent to CAS 68334-33-8. 68783-78-8 is a worst case of both 68334-33-8 and 61789-80-8 since it is unsaturated and the SP2 carbon-carbon bonds are of higher reactivity and a more likely site of metabolic activation. The primary component of CAS 112-02-7 is a substructure of all the other substances. Additional documentation, provided within the IUCLID Assessment Reports section, supports the read-across approach.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions of this study and according to the criteria laid down in CLP (Reg 1272/2008/EC) and directive 67/548/EEC, the test item dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride (purity 97%) is not classified.
- Executive summary:
The potential of Dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride (purity 97%) to induce skin irritation was assessed in 3 rabbits according to the OECD guideline 404 and to the EU Method B.4. The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice regulations.
A single dose of 0.5 g pasted with 0.9 ml isotonic saline was applied to the skin of the rabbits under a semi-occlusive dressing for a 4-hour exposure period. Skin reactions were observed approximately 0.5, 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing and then on day 7, 14 in order to observe their reversibility. The mean values of the scores for erythema and oedema were calculated for each animal.
The mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for individual animals were 2.0, 1.0, and 0.3 for erythema and 0.0, 0.0, and 0.0 for oedema and all reactions reversed within 14 days. Oedema were not observed. In addition, the treated skin sites were sporadically dry-rough, discoloured light brown and fine or coarse scales occurred during the observation period of 14 days. Based on the study results, the test material is not subject to labelling requirements with regard to skin irritation.
